  • Patent number: 5791688
    Abstract: A child seat belt clip having a housing containing preferably two block-type pinch clamps to secure a lap and shoulder belt slid into a housing. Depression of preferably a latch or lever acts to rotate the clamping blocks about their respective axle, allowing the clamping blocks to be rotated up and out of the way for easy insertion or removal of the lap and shoulder belt into or from a slot in the housing. Release of the latch allows springs wound around each axle to rotate the clamping blocks back, and in tight contact with the lap and shoulder belt, thereby securing the lap and shoulder belt against the wall of the housing. Increased force against the clamped belt acts to tighten the clamp against the belt, reducing the possibility of slippage of the lap and shoulder belt through the seat belt clip.
